Vegas

Just got back from Vegas was a pretty solid trip somehow i spent around 1.8k in 4 days which is pathetic. I played the most live poker I think ive ever played with suprisingly good results I won about 2k between 2/5-5/10 mainly at the bellagio. It would of been around 3-4k but, one night after heavily drinking I had a timing tell and my first night I called an all in on a 478K10 board with AQ against his 42. I saw a couple shows Bellagio's O which was the coolest thing ive ever seen, La Rive which blew hardcore from what lil I remember from that night, and Lance Burton magic show suprisingly wasnt too bad. I had one intresting night my last night where I went to La Rive. I headed to the Wynn a couple hours earlier at the Wynn on the way stopping at each Margrita stand or drink stand ordering a drink. I think i spent around 50-60 by the time I made it to the Wynn. At the Wynn I had trouble getting a waitress to continue to comeback to me so I sat at 1/3 and preceeded to order double margritas. After 3-4 of these I realized I was 15 minutes late to La Rive so I chugged my drink and ran to the show. Considering I got there late they wouldnt let me sit till the first act was over so I went and got another drink at the concession stand I ordered a margritta the lady filled up 3 cups and gave them to me confused I asked did I order 3 and she nodded so I paid her. I finally got to take my seat after about midway through all memmory of the night goes out the window. All I know is I woke up to security knocking on my door and 17 missed calls from my parents trying to get me up for my plane. As I struggled to function I ran to get a cab (leaving several items behind in the room). I then realized I was 500 bucks shorter in my wallet but, suprisingly a bag of pot instead. I made my flight with a few minutes to spare and headed home feeling like death.
Heres the stats for this year according to the scope. Yet agian I am getting no volume probably due to school and getting hooked on college basketball.

New Year

Well, originally I was gonna try for SNE but, I highly doubt this will happen mainly cause I dont want to play poker to that extreme. Over the past 20 days ive been playing only a 1-3 hrs a day with averaging 500 day which ive come to realize makes my life so much more fulfilling. I have finished my 3rd session of mental coaching which is starting to help significantly. The main thing im looking to do is improve my MTT skills to the point where I feel comfortable playing live events and high stakes online events. School is going to start up in a week which blows. Below are my goals for 2009.

Goals 2009-
-Play several live events
-Make several final tables online
-make 200-250k online
-purchase a house in Nov-Dec
